The language conventions are defined in the Assembler Services Guide. An eyecatcher is not part of it, AFAIK. >Same goes for the lack >of forward save area chaining by LE - SYSUDUMP is only capable of printing >a forward save area chain, if the LSA pointers in the save areas are filled >correctly. Not true. SYSUDUMP shows the save areas going forward, then going backward from register 13. Forward chains are not reliable for diagnosis, especially when there are AMODE 64 programs in the mix. Or programs that use the Linkage Stack. And don't get me started on XPLINK. -- Tom Marchant
